From Bill Kristol this morning
We are seeing purges and secrecy and firings and, yes, law-breaking by a bunch of arrogant young Muskovites, acting at the direction of their Alternative für Deutschland–supporting unelected and unaccountable “special government employee” boss. Americans already have their doubts about Musk. His presence, looming in the wings and off-putting to most Americans, is a vulnerability to be exploited.
Also an interesting take from Wired, especially on recent votes by a senator from Maine. It inferred some of the pressure being put on elected Republican goes beyond threats of being primaried.
